Operating the X-ray Detector

Before connecting the X-ray detector, ensure that the Digital Radiography Software is installed
as described in its manual. If not, install the software first. The X-ray detector can be used in
different configurations depending on the desired application. The following sections describe
the different use cases.
Do not exceed the maximum uniform load weight of 150 kg
WARNING
distributed across the surface of the X-ray detector.
Do not exceed the maximum load weight of 100 kg distributed at one
WARNING
location in a 40 mm diameter of the X-ray detector surface.
The AED mode requires a sufficient X-ray dose rate to the detector
WARNING
surface to trigger image acquisition. The required dose rate can vary at
different use conditions.
Depending on conditions, including but not limited to, environmental
conditions, installation method, X-ray system setup, and subject to be
imaged, the use of AED mode may result in false trigger or no trigger
of X-ray image acquisition. The risk of false trigger or no trigger of
X-ray image acquisition must be assessed for the specific intended use
and application.
Check the threshold of the auto trigger mode regularly.
Caution
Do not acquire images and calibration files while handling the
Caution
detector. This can disturb the image quality and result in the wrong
diagnosis.
Monitor the temperature of the X-ray detector and allow the detector to
Caution
cool down when the temperature of the detector gets hot or when the
temperature warning appears. Ignoring this caution may result in
personal injury or damage to the product.
The X-ray detector has two temperature limits. When the near thermal
Note
limit occurs, immediately finish the exam and then power down the
detector to reduce the thermal load. When a maximum thermal limit
occurs, the detector will power off automatically, as soon as the ongoing
exam has been completed.
